Digital solutions benefiting stakeholders
At the first Digital Foundations, taking place at Innovative City 2014, the CSTB presents advances in digital technologies available to stakeholders in construction and the sustainable city.
Eric Lebègue, deputy head of the Information Technologies and Knowledge Dissemination Department, is presenting the eveBIM software platform developed by the CSTB.
- Join the conference: “Making use of building data to bring innovative services to users.” Thursday, June 26 at 9:30 a.m.
Eric Lebègue is also coeditor with Olivier Celnik of a collaborative book (140 contributors): BIM et maquette numérique: pour l'architecte, le bâtiment et la construction [BIM and digital modeling for architects, buildings and construction], jointly published by Les Editions Eyrolles and CSTB Editions. More information at the CSTB stand: No. 20.
With business partners IGN, Acute3D and IMAO, Julien Soula, head of the Digital Cities and Regions unit at the CSTB, is presenting the new offering for the digital city: Decision3D.
- Join the conference “Representing and simulating the urban space: “urban mediation” tools for collectively building the city and anticipating its operation and uses.” Thursday, June 26 at 2:00 p.m.
- Discover the Decision3D solution: “From the 3D city to the simulated city.”
Improving energy performance
At Innovative City 2014, the CSTB is also organizing a workshop on improving energy efficiency at science and technology parks. With Colin Ruel, Europe and International project leader at Sophia Antipolis Foundation, Dominique Caccavelli, head of the Renewable Energy Division at the CSTB, invites you to discover and share ideas about an innovative approach to this challenge.
- Participate in the workshop. Thursday, June 26 at 10:00 a.m.
With examples from the European project Smart-MED-Parks, the workshop presents the “Intelligent Model of Energy Management,” designed to provide practical solutions for achieving energy efficiency and self-sufficiency by generating energy locally and integrating it into existing power grids. This model was tested in five science and technology parks in Europe, including Sophia Antipolis. The conference is also an opportunity to present innovative energy solutions developed by local start-ups based in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.
